Reply to comment by outlawstar766 in Dryer Vent Installation Help by softhardcoder

What is the rigid end on the vent there for? Is that rigid end meant to attach to the dryer or the in-wall duct? If I'm understanding your comment with respect to the rigid end and the adapter it seems like the rigid end would normally attach to the in-wall duct.

Is that rigid end connected to the pipe by a clamp or integrated? If you look up semi rigid dryer vent they dont usually have a rigid end piece. You could buy a coupler to connect it to the dryer, or more like that end will insert into the wall vent with that oval adapter, then secure it with a self tapping screw. The other end should fit over the dryer's output

Screws in dryer ducts are bad. They catch lint and disrupt airflow. Always better to use foil tape and/or clamps.

The rigid end is connected to the pipe by a clamp. I just attached more pictures to the OP that hopefully show this.
